London’s Spa Fields burial ground records go online

Records for another London nonconformist burial ground are now available online.

The Spa Fields records, ranging from 1778 to 1849, and featuring all the registers from The National Archives RG4 collection, are now available at the Deceased Online website.

Deceased Online says: “Although a tiny area, the old Spa Fields site includes nearly 114,000 records. Located in Clerkenwell, the site no longer exists as a burial ground, but is a park managed by the London Borough of Islington.

“As with all cemetery and burial site records on Deceased Online, users are able to search, within the advance search facility, by name and by cemetery or burial site within a given area or location. Deceased Online features over eight million London burial and cremation records including the largest cemetery in the UK and the historic sites at Kensal Green, Brompton and now Spa Fields and Bunhill Fields.”
